Best Plane Spotting Ground in the League?

[FY16JJ]

Just thinking about Stockport County, which is right on the Manchester Airport flight path, any better plane spotting grounds in the country?

Brentford very close to Heathrow

 

[Whitstabletangerine]

Or Fulham

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

London City/Millwall.

 

[premactopool]

Egg chasing i know but Twickenham is good

Griffin Park was undoubtedly the best. Didn't they have a Fly KLM ad on the roof of one stand? Apologies if I've got the wrong airline.

Not football league but don’t think any team could beat Squires Gate fc?

Solihull Moors.

When we played them in the televised cup game, there was an aerial shot of the ground prior to the game starting.
That looked within spitting distance to Birmingham airport.

 

[Hertsseasider]

Brentford Griffin Park

 

[BIG_BERTHA_3]

Deepdale s pretty good .

Wren Rovers? And AFC Blackpool is even closer

We agree with you. Our Seasider daughter lives in Reddish (near to Edgley) and you can almost touch the planes as they pass over.

Brentford Griffin Park

One every 60 to 90 seconds.

Remember going to Stockport around 1998 when we had Jonathon Douglas and Neil Danns on loan from Blackburn and being shocked at how close the planes were.

Has Griffin Park been demolished now ?

Alternatively flying into Heathrow, you could ask, 'best grounds spotted from plane?' Coming back from Cyprus last month (sitting on the right hand side); West Ham, Millwall, Emirates, Chelsea, Fulham and the new Brentford ground.

PS: The old Doncaster ground used to be good with an airfield behind the away end.

 

[1966_and_all_that]

It's Stockport. The planes take off right over the ground.

 

[Graham berrys plastic bag]

Deepdale is as plain as you can get

 

[Charliecleanstonysheens]

has to be dumpdale .......... indelibly written in the skies above , and forever lost in the clouds below us !!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[TangerineBayern]

I tend to go in football grounds to watch the footy not plane spotting!

I wouldn't know, but Brentford moved on.

I know who sorted that. I also know who paid for it which would surprise one or two on here ... ;-)

Wembley too.

 

[Pasty Muncher]

As Realfish said :Belle Vue, Donnie's old ground, had a small airfield which backed onto the away terrace. Had hours of fun watching the planes rather than the Snodin brothers dismantling Argyle's defence.

Stockport air disaster was less than a mile from Edgeley Park.

Aren't there rumours that KOKO paid for the Preston are staying down banner that flew across Deepdale when we beat them 2-1?
